Lots of love for Fleetwood Mac at the University of Virginia. Student news magazine The Declaration, published at the University of Virginia, features More Than Just Second Hand News today by Anthony Amadeo Gallo, proving the vast diversity of present day Mac fans runs the gamut of ages from seniors to college kids -- folks in between the two life landmarks and on the fringes of each extreme.

Gallo's words are a fury of musical passion for Fleetwood Mac's Washington D.C. performance last week with expletives in all the right places. It just warms the heart to see young people appreciating classic, legendary bands (I still feel like a young people, but a decade and a half past college begs to differ I guess). He takes a big bite right off the bat:

Last week, I saw Fleetwood Fucking Mac, and it was the greatest night of my life, and I’m going to tell you all about how much it ruled.

You gotta love fan reviews. No mechanical analysis of musicality here, nor ridiculous time machine comparisons. Just degrees of awesomeness or sucksation. Mid-page Gallo says, "The jackpot hit when arguably the band’s two most powerfully emotional songs, “Never Going Back Again” (written by Lindsey) and “Storms” (Stevie), were played back-to-back. As the Lindsey/Stevie duel continued, it became apparent that Buck-Money was really on his game. The set ended with his killer guitar solo to “I’m So Afraid” and my personal party anthem “Go Your Own Way.” For an added bonus, Stevie and Lindsey returned to the stage for the encore holding hands. Founding father and drummer Mick Fleetwood (who looks older than my grandfather) introduced the band in between “World Turning” and “Don’t Stop,” and the show ended with Stevie’s stirring “Silver Springs,” in which she hauntingly sings, “I’ll follow you down ‘til the sound of my voice will haunt you/you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you.”

Young Mr. Gallo says Fleetwood Mac can still bring the noise and while contemplating why he didn't spend $40 on a "Second Hand News" shirt, opines, "The Gold Dust Woman proved she can still rock, despite generally getting PWNED by Lindsey “Go Your Fucking Own Way” Buckingham. I was blown away by my favorite pop band, and can’t wait to take my kids to see them again when I’m forty-five. I’m sure they’ll be down."

was on hypem dot com and listening to fleetwood mac (b/c win media player at work keeps crapping out, hence hypem often) and this cover of everywhere by vampire weekend came on. and i thought i couldn't dislike that band any more than i did already. wow. so awful.
there are also many hilarious remixes of fleetwood mac songs on that site.
hm.

I'm not trying to slight modern music at all, I think every year is a really really great year for music, but can anyone think of an album from this decade as truly badass as Tusk? I really want to hear something that kicks so much ass in so many different ways, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a modern equivalent.

Fetchboy, Saturday, 26 December 2009 21:04 (sixteen years ago)

maybe i'm wrong but who's to say what's right
i need somebody to help me through the night
